BlakeIana Is “Back In The Field” On Her Debut Mixtape

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

BlakeIANA is heading out and seeking to cause some problems with her first-ever long play, Back In The Field. It’s being billed as the St. Louis, Missouri native’s inaugural mixtape, which we think was a smart marketing move. The project doesn’t really follow a story nor does it aim to create one. It’s here for one thing and that’s to announce that BlakeIANA is trying to put her stamp on 2024 and beyond as a femcee not to play with. It was only a matter of time before something like would arrive, especially given the reception and backing from her peers and fans. From the release of her breakout hit “BING BONG” and its remix with Sexyy Red, she’s done nothing but ascend.

Speaking of the latter with her dastardly twin, it serves as the lead single for Back In The Field. Other teasers include “STL Finest,” “Pricey” with Moneybagg Yo, “See Us” featuring Skilla Baby, “Problem,” and “B.B.F.” BlakeIANA would even go on to give fans a pre-midnight two pack of “Right Now” and “Benefits” both of which include features from Hunxho and Tee Grizzley in particular. It might leave some wanting more in terms of fresh material but given where she’s at right now in her career, the more exposure the better. See what BlakeIANA has to offer the ratchet rap lane with the links below.

BlakeIana Is Requiring Men To Pay The “B.B.F.” On Her New Banger

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The female rap game is heating up every other week and BlakeIANA is contributing to that. The acts in her lane are fierce competitors for sure, but we can see world in where the St. Louis product rises above expectations. She possesses strong mic presence, always has high energy, and has a knack for writing some catchy club bops for the girlies. What makes this all really exciting is that she’s pretty much just getting her career off the ground too, so we can only imagine what’s in store. Right now, she has a handful of viral singles. “BING BONG” and its remix with her fellow Missouri counterpart Sexyy Red being those records. But soon, the Murda Recordings/300 Entertainment signee is going to be putting all of her ideas and sounds onto one full tape.

According to a recent press release, BLAKEIANA is gearing up for mixtape called Back In The Field. Right now, there is no release date set in stone. But with the clock ticking on 2024, we are expecting it to drop before then. This is the time of year in which rappers are turning in their projects to leave a mark before the next 12 months roll in. She seems to be on that same track and we can’t wait for it. For now, BlakeIANA is back to provide us with one its singles, “B.B.F.” It’s a similar vibe to “Pricey” featuring Moneybagg Yo, as she feels she’s worth spending tons of money on. However, she’s taking things a step further, saying that there’s a “bad b**** fee” on top of those existing expenditures. It’s a raucous banger and one that will spread like wildfire within the night club space.

BlakeIANA Is Becoming A Real “Problem” For The Competition On New Single

August 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems that 2024 is the year for the women in hip-hop to either reinstate their dominance or break out. In this case, BlakeIANA fits in the latter category and she’s going to a big “Problem” real soon for the rest of her contemporaries. This is her latest single, and according to a press release, it’s a promotional track for her future mixtape. The details on the project are muddy right now, but her reps are saying it will be out sometime this fall. When it does eventually hit streaming platforms later this year, it will become her first LP of any kind. While we don’t have a lot of concrete information, we can assume that a few past singles will also make it onto the final product.

Her first professional release “BING BONG” is also her first hit record. That has to be a lock given its stature in Blake’s early catalog. The remix with fellow Missouri native Sexyy Red could be included as a bonus track, too. Speaking of Sexyy Red, she brought BlakeIANA on for her Sexyy Red 4 President tour, which just kicked off this past weekend. But back to the potentials, you also have the collabs with Moneybagg Yo and Skilla Baby. Additionally, we would assume that “Stl Finest” and “GAHDAMN” will make their way onto this mixtape. If there is one word to describe BlakeIANA’s style, it would be rugged. She has knack for getting real mean and unapologetic on the mic and that’s what she’s doing on “Problem”. Her confidence is apparent right from the beginning, and it’s deserved given the trajectory she’s on. Check out the track below.
